Shana Cesaire

My name is Shana, and I am a writer and editor who aspires to create compelling content that will make a cultural difference in the world.

I originally created Compulsive Culture as an outlet to discuss my love of film and music, partly because the people in my real life were getting worse and worse at pretending to care about these topics for my entertainment. I completed my undergraduate degree in English Literature at the University of Calgary and my Masters of Arts at Carleton University. I also studied Communications in hopes that this would make me more employable (which I have discovered, it does not).

I am definitely consumed by wanderlust, having done the cliché move and spent the last two summers of my undergrad traveling and studying in Europe, returning home having developed new international friendships, adopted new perspectives, and having acquired the need to always be on the move. I hope to soon be able to travel more frequently again.

By staying up to date with pop culture, my goal is to continue to highlight ever-changing cultural phenomenons by bringing about new ideas and exploring (mainly critiquing) the already established norms.
